Cat 5

I thought that was a hurricane or something. But it's not! But what exactly is a Cat5e patch cable?

Let's educate ourselves shall we?

According to Wikipedia.......

It is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. Many such cables are unshielded but some are shielded. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification. This type of cable is often used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet, and is also used to carry many other signals such as basic voice services, token ring, and ATM (at up to 155 Mbit/s, over short distances).
